<p>I had some issues reading my jigs at first. Realized I hadn't adjusted the length of the cable from the float to the transducer, and it wasn't down below the ice. Once I gave it a little more slack, it read my jigs, and fish, fine. In fact, it was also giving a very faint return on the size 18 Zebra Midge (which has a brass bead for weight) above the main jig,…</p>

<p>Hopefully I'll get out tomorrow. It's gonna depend on how safe the ice will be with the warming temps in my area. Today was pretty good, wish the warm weather would hold off for a couple more weeks.</p>

<p>Thanks Slip......I've seen the weather you guys have endured.............Wow!...........we've only had a couple little spurts of polar air in coastal North Carolina.........high winds and rain on many weekends but we have worked through and got out to fish several times this winter...I rode through a short patch of skim ice this morning for the first time this winter.....Ground hog is only right 18 percent of the time and he claimed early spring........fingers crossed!

<p>Thanks Slip......I've seen the weather you guys have endured.............Wow!...........we've only had a couple little spurts of polar air in coastal North Carolina.........high winds and rain on many weekends but we have worked through and got out to fish several times this winter...I rode through a short patch of skim ice this morning for the first time this winter.....Ground hog is only right 18 percent of the time and he claimed early spring........fingers crossed! The new moon didn't disappoint today as the fish were very active.......I was solo today and quickly put a 30 fish creel together for sunfish which was mainly fliers........that took a little over an hour.......I culled out seven fish and that gave me the thirty I wanted for the fish fry.........fished for another hour and caught another fourteen fliers and seven gills..........the small 1/64th ounce jig would take several seconds to settle out near bottom in ten feet and the fish were waiting.......the takes came quickly after the bait reached depth in most cases.......but all in all a fun day to fish</p> I'm planning on heading out. …tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2019-02-02:2036984:Comment:7729322019-02-02T15:23:24.213ZAllen Morganhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/AllenMorgan
<p>I'm planning on heading out. Was originally planning on this afternoon, to let it warm up a bit (I don't have a shanty), and maybe fish into the night. However, looking at the charts Slip posted, I may head out NOW to catch the afternoon Major period.</p>
